HoB007 - Bare Hands Brewery Thai.P.A.

House of Beers Episode 7: Bare Hands Brewery Thai.P.A.

On this episode, we are joined by Jake Seward of Indy Craft Brew and we decided to sample another Northern Indiana brewery, Bare Hands Brewery, because they are making phenomenal beer. Thai.P.A. is their highly-rated core IPA. We discuss the ins-and-outs of the beer and what we do and do not like about the brew.

Instead of comparing the IPA to the BJCP Style Guide (sorry it was the third American IPA in seven episodes) we had yet another discussion about Untappd. We know you love it!

We finish the show by talking about the beers we've been drinking and the new breweries we've been too. Lots of great beer, but a 50/50 split on the brewery experiences.

WH002 - Founders CBS

Whale Hunters EP 2 - Founders CBS

We caught Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout while Whale Hunting and decided to share it with our friends Andrew (Saf) and Dustin from the DrinkIN GeekOUT Podcast. This is an amazing beer that was well worth the hype surrounding its release last year.

During the rest of the episode, we sample beers from Sun King Brewing, 450 North Brewing Co., and Brew Link Brewing Co.

To finish the show we discuss which Indiana brewery we would each select if we could only drink from one for the rest of our lives. I think the answers may surprise you.

HoB006: 3 Floyds Gumballhead

House of Beers Episode 6: 3 Floyds Gumballhead

On this episode we dive into one of the legendary beers from Indiana, 3 Floyds Gumballhead. This Pale Wheat Ale is hard to come by in the state, even in Indianapolis, but we found a fresh six-pack and decided to break down what makes this beer so popular.

We sampled a couple homebrews that Nick took with him to the Whitestown Brew Fest Homebrew Competition on September 15, 2018. (OH, AND HE TOOK HOME THE GRAND PRIZE!) He brought Guilty Pleasure, a Chocolate Raspberry Stout and Cinna Death Punch, a cinnamon Russian Imperial Stout.

To round out the episode we reviewed New Day Craft's 3rd Annual Meadful Thing and Outciders event that Dustin, Matt, and Nick all attended.

Whale Hunters Episode 1!
We've created a new series based on House of Beer, called Whale Hunters. As fans of craft beer, we seek out the hard-to-find brews along with the everyday shelf beers.

In this first episode, Kevin Groover of Out Here Having a Pint dropped by to discuss Books & Brews Franken Gloop, the first barrel aged beer from their Dr. Frankenstein’s Monster Reserve series. Only 120 bottles were available to those who put their name on the list, making it a hard-to-find beer.
